Apologies for not replying to the original message with this, but I 
havent checked my mail in a couple of days, so I might as well kill two 
birds with one stone and reply to 'em both at once :)

When I first set up my socks proxy (running on a DEC Alpha) and tried to 
get my freebsd box talking to it, I recall having the same problem as 
you. Unfortunately, I dont recall how I eventually fixed it, though I 
suspect it was a config problem with either the libsocks5.conf or the 
config file on the proxy. Perhaps if you could post a copy of your config 
file along with a description of your network setup I'd be able to see if 
there was anything amiss.

I use runsocks to socksify several apps which dont have native SOCKS4/5 
support, including tinyfugue, fetch, telnet, ftp and ncftp, all without any 
problems. Lynx also works great using the inbuilt socks support, although 
I dont think I could get socks native support in tinyfugue working. Most 
annoyingly, I still havent been able to get Netscape to work using socks 
no matter what I try (socks4/socks5 config files are set up correctly, 
and netscape is pointing to the ip address of my proxy..but it seems to 
still ignore it and try connecting directly or to a http proxy if I have 
one set. But I digress..). Cvsup also works fine using the m3socks 
wrapper.
